Yeh! Good to see the rusty machine (and self-deprecating) model fading away and being replaced by real appreciation of the true marvels that have emerged over millions of years. (Science's mechanical models were all so ... 18th century!)

(Not so familiar with biology but did enjoy hearing about the tack Lee Cronin's taken.)
